cobrakalas427 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well, as a life-long, die-hard Chicago Bears fan who has suffered for all but 2 out of my 50 years ('63 & '85/'86) and with no disrespect to all the Packers/Jets/Vikings fans here, I personally would be elated if Monday's game was Brett Favre's last. His personal and professional behavior since the whole Green Bay organizational issue is nothing short of unprofessional and outlandishly selfish in my opinion. I used to cringe everytime the Bears and Packers played each other when #4 was the opposing QB knowing that somehow and someway he was going to find a way to beat us and receive all the accolades from the TV announcers proclaiming his deity. As this man has aged and his skills have diminished, he appears to have dialed up his "drama" and his personal behavior has become very frustrating and distracting to both his teammates and his fans. I agree with Wick that it's well past time for Favre to hang up his cleats and he should keep his fingers/toes/legs crossed that his last 3 years of "reckless behavior" doesn't destroy the image of the once feared quarterback on his quest to enter the HOF. Let me think here....Brett Favre/Michael Jordan/Tiger Woods/countless others...there is a pattern here...$$$/Fame/Superstardom = poor personal behavioral choices that eventually affect professional abilities...got it!

There is a pattern, What ever happen to Paul Horning, Bart Starr, Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, thos type of athletes. For the most part, todays athletes are all about themselves with no regard for those who pay thier salares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 When Regie White's church was burned to the ground, it was Packer fans that donated enough money to rebuild the church. Thats loyalty. And, had it not been for White, no one would have wanted to come to Green Bay, period! Signed a Packer fan and part owner Well Tim, I guess that means Brett Favres Superbowl Ring will be the last issued with the Packers Name????????? And I can definately say I am more "Loyal" than a Ford Carsalesman................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played for the love of the game and the pride of wearing their respective uniforms. They probably never disclosed injuries in order to stay in the lineup for their team and teammates. Not to say that any of them were perfect off the field, but compared to today's overpaid, "cry-babies"...these Gentlemen were SAINTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well I can say as a big fan of arguably the best Quarterback ever (Joe Montana) and always like the 49ers...........I do not recall a big deal made of him not retireing with the 49ers and having two more seasons playing with the Chiefs..........Would the majority of 49er fans liked to have seen him retire as a 49er????? Most likely yes.........Did playing two years too many with a different team tarnish his Legacy?????? I say no............ As a life long Raider Fan I would have liked to have seen QB Kenny Stabler retire with Oakland......Don't recall fans making a big deal of him playing 4 more not so great years with the Oilers and Saints..........Did this tarnish his Legacy?????? I say no....... .....Also a great Running Back (Marcus Allen) had his best years with the Raiders but ended his career with the Chiefs and decided to be inducted to HOF with the Chiefs........ Did I become indignant and cry and complain??????? NO!!!!!! Life's too short Packer Fans..........Appreciate Brett for his accomplishments on the Field................

DDT Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 As a Football Fan, I really appreciate Great Players from any Team.........The probability of Brett returning next year even if he want's to is next to nill as it looks like no team would sign him now........ Steve Mariucci on NFLs Game Day stated that Favre is "without doubt, the toughest quarteback ever" and I Agree.........

Farve had a lot of Packer fans wearing jets jerseys. Had he stayed there and played there, this thread would not have had any traction. Most Pacer fans were not happy with the way it was handled on both sides.
